Water

January 23, 2020 No Comments MLA, Natural science

Water (both running and ground) is a resource that is becoming more and more important as population grows, and as the climate continues to change.

As such, it’s important for everyone to be informed, and the internet can be really helpful here. 

For your discussion this week you need to find three scientists on Twitter that are reliable sources of information about water issues.  For your initial post I would like you to share their Twitter handles, along with a one sentence summary of who they are/what they do. 

Please note that I specify reliable.  This means they must be scientists working in a water-related field, and actually tweeting about it.  To help with this, please check out this webpage (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. on evaluating sources (click to follow link (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.).

Criminal Acts

Criminal acts refer to actions leading to violation of laws, which is punishable by the government (USLEGAL, 2019). Misdemeanors are offenses of less aggravated than felonies, and therefore they are punishable by imprisonment and fine. A felony, on the other hand, is a crime of grave (Flight & Pardew, 2018). Felonies are punishable by death or imprisonment of more than one year.

Criminal acts include Robbery, which refers to a theft involving physical harm of a victim or inflicting fear and threat of bodily injury. Murder is defined as an act of killing with intention. Attempted murder can only be proven if the defendant had the intention to commit a crime or the defendant’s action did not result in a crime or the defendant unconcealed from committing the crime.

Euthanasia, which is also known as mercy killing, is a criminal act of putting a person with an incurable disease into a painless death. A manslaughter is an act of killing a person without cruelty. A conspiracy is an act of two people coming together to commit a criminal act. Larceny, which is also stealing, can only be proven if, without reason, the perpetrator took and carried away the assets; the culprit did not own the goods: the offender took the assets intending to hold it permanently. Abuse is the mental or physical harm of a person.  Sexual assault is an act of sexual contact or behavior without the consent of the recipient.

***From the paragraph  provide an example (i.e. create a “story” that applies the concept).
For example, if a student discussed the rules of searching a vehicle trunk, you are to provide an example (i.e. a little story) of a police officer conducting either an illegal or a legal search of a vehicle trunk. This learning process is called “application” and will enhance your critical thinking skills. This forces you to “think”, not just to memorize and regurgitate material, which any circus-trained monkey can do. The goal is to prepare you for the real world, which will expect you to think independently.
